For the record I'm extremely happy to have Dak and supported him being here predraft. I just thought he was a great project... who could've known?

Aside from taking a hit... what does Dak do that Romo doesn't? The 2014 synergy was very similar to what we have now, and aside from the 1st game back where Tony wasn't healthy, was rusty and not practicing as much as he needed to he was MVP afaic. I just rewatched the game vs the Saints, Romo was destroying them on MNF. Like 28-0 by halftime destroyed.

Dak is playing so much better than anyone expected, but what if he didn't have a top 5 line and a #1 run game lead by a 4th overall pick?

My point is, if healthy, Romo could make this offense scary with the pass game to Dez- or whoever- just like did before.. He has a connection with Dez and he will make teams drop safeties back. That just makes Zeke's life even better and like Murray he will feast against those 6 and 7 man fronts.

As expensive as Tony is, imo you absolutely have to play him because he's being paid as fucking elite, and if he isn't able to play the game anymore you let him retire or move on. Because if he's reliable enough to be your backup, then he would be starting. His problem is his health.
